Powder Coating Gun Market Report 2026

The powder coating gun market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.05 billion in 2025 to $2.18 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to shift from liquid to powder coatings, demand for corrosion resistant finishes, growth in automotive manufacturing, adoption of electrostatic coating technology, tightening environmental regulations on VOC emissions.

The powder coating gun market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.78 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to automation in surface finishing processes, growth in electric vehicle production, demand for sustainable coating technologies, expansion of aerospace and construction sectors, increasing focus on coating consistency and quality. Major trends in the forecast period include growing adoption of automated and robotic powder coating guns, rising demand for high-transfer efficiency coating systems, increased use of environment friendly powder coating solutions, expansion of precision coating for complex geometries, focus on reduced overspray and material waste.

The expansion of the automotive industry is expected to drive the growth of the powder coating gun market. The automotive sector involves the design, manufacture, marketing, and sale of vehicles such as cars, trucks, and motorcycles, along with related parts and services. The growth in this industry is fueled by factors such as the rising demand for electric and autonomous vehicles, government incentives, and increased investments in these vehicles. Powder coating guns play a vital role in the automotive sector by offering a more efficient, durable, and eco-friendly method for applying coatings to vehicle parts, thereby improving product quality and reducing environmental impact. For example, in July 2023, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System reported that factory output in the second quarter increased by 1.5% at an annualized rate, with a substantial 36.7% rise in the production of motor vehicles and parts. As a result, the growth of the automotive industry is propelling the powder coating gun market.

Companies in the powder coating gun market are focusing on developing advanced products, such as automatic spray guns, to improve application efficiency and coating quality. Automatic spray guns are advanced devices that function autonomously, offering precise control over spray patterns, pressure, and fluid flow. This ensures consistent coverage while minimizing material waste. For instance, in April 2023, Wagner Group, a Germany-based manufacturer of powder coating application equipment, launched the PEA-X1 and PER-X1 models. These guns feature a modular design and various accessories, which enhance flexibility in powder coating processes. The guns are designed for both single-color and color-change systems, offering improved powder cloud quality, thinner coating layers, and reduced powder consumption. They are compatible with different nozzles and can be easily retrofitted into existing systems, simplifying installation and maintenance while lowering service costs.

In August 2024, Gleco Plating Inc., a US-based manufacturing company, acquired 3‑D Powder Coating for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Gleco Plating aims to broaden its surface-finishing service offerings by incorporating painting and powder-coating capabilities to meet the growing demand for high-quality, durable finishes. Three-D Finishing, Inc. is a US-based company that provides powder coating guns.
